Reports that Israel is considering lending an ancient Christian mosaic, which it found beneath the grounds of Megiddo Prison some 25 miles southwest of Haifa, have generated some controversy.
The Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., a proposed venue for the loan, has drawn harsh criticism from those who oppose it on political and religious grounds. A professor told the Associated Press that it is a “right-wing Christian nationalist Bible machine” tied to “other institutions that promote white evangelical, Christian nationalism, Christian Zionist forms.”
